  • Defiant Nobel Peace Prize Institute Reacts to Trump’s Incessant Whining

    Jump

  • He can think anything he damned want. Just so long as it doesn't go any further. Although, I'd like to see him attempt to declare war on Norway because of this... And their delicious sovereign wealth fund.

  • Homeland Security has reportedly sent out hundreds of subpoenas to identify ICE critics online

    Jump

  • While we may feel smug in our federated social media, I wonder how far those protections even go. I guess it really depends where our instance is, and who they host with.

  • Mamdani expells NYC drone firm over ties to ‘Israel’ in Brooklyn Navy Yard move

    Jump

  • critics accusing City Hall of deliberately targeting the company over its links to ‘Israel’ and its role in monitoring the Gaza Strip border.

    Read critics are accusing City Hall of reducing liability for abetting war crimes.

    Although, since the US hasn't signed up to many international treaties of that sort, there probably isn't going to be any kind of punishment due.

  • Trump says he's withdrawing invitation for Carney to join his Gaza 'Board of Peace'

    Jump

  • You've clearly not been paying attention. It's trump's party, now. Any serious descenting opinions have been routed out such as Liz Cheney. And it's not just politicians. What's left are the cowed and the sycophant. Sure, there has been descent in the ranks such as releasing the Epstein files but when asked about their justification it's all fallen short of overt criticism of Trump. Nothing of the sort that could feasibility depose him. And the Democrats cravenly refuse to broach the subject, thinking that Trump is now electoral poison. A mistake they continue to make.

  • What happens when the taps run dry? England is about to find out

    Jump

  • I see an interesting parallel to the nationalisation of UK coal back in the day. Basically, the collieries prior to nationalisation were critically mismanaged. So, the government bought them off the private hands. However, the valuation was too high for an outright purchase, so the Government bought the infrastructure in installments. This meant that as an award to the previous owners for severe mismanagement they got regular income without having to do anything to get it.

    I think there's a lesson in there, some where.

  • Have Nvidia drivers on Linux gotten worse over later generations?

    Jump

  • I think the biggest issue they had was with consistency of frame rate. Maybe the graphic drivers have matured more for the RTX 30 than the later versions. Are you using the proprietary drivers, or the open source ones?

  • EU top diplomat says Russia's military size, not Ukraine's, should be capped

    Jump

  • I'm not just factoring in Russia, here. If it was just Russia here you'd have a point. Russia has allies. The Trump Whitehouse and it seems that China is soft on Russia too. If push comes to shove, I really can't guarantee that either of them would fall in line behind the EU. Add to that the authoritarian Narendra Modi's India I really don't think the EU would stand a chance...

    Although, on the flip side, the EU may have allies themselves in Australia and Canada, and perhaps the UK plus the Scandinavian countries. But, even then...

    I guess it also comes down to how much the different factions want the fight.

  • EU top diplomat says Russia's military size, not Ukraine's, should be capped

    Jump

  • Do you honestly think the EU can stand alone against the super powers? With what? A lot of European munitions come from one of them. Sure, maybe the EU could throw all it's chips in to the war effort and may squeak out a victory but they would have to dedicate around 80% of their income to it. We're talking taking a World War 3 stance of preparedness. And be willing to go bankrupt in the process. If that happens the only result is Russia comes in an sells the EU for parts.

  • Absolutely

  • Given that wisdom and worldliness are opposite to ignorance, not necessarily intelligence I don't think the OP is stating that the under/unprivileged people would be smarter by dint of their oppression.

    However, maintaining bloody minded ignorance is not only hard work, but stupid. This is why tremendous effort is applied to keeping the ignorant in a culture that props up their ignorance.

  • EU top diplomat says Russia's military size, not Ukraine's, should be capped

    Jump

  • I think you're both right as your stated opinions views are not diametrically opposed. I suspect the original commenter was not commenting to an utopian dream of a just peace, here. Their comment seems to be addressing realpolitik. The super power in the region and the current hegemonic super power in the world are aligned.. and so is the new world super power, China when it comes to it. With that background, both Europe and Ukraine will loose and will have to accept what's given to them.

  • I'll quit watching YouTube before I give it my ID

    Jump

  • While it may be hard to cold turkey YouTube, at least I could make a start on that reading list...

  • AND ZOHRAN COOKS CUOMO THE BOZO!

    Jump

  • Essentially it allows California to gerrymander by removing the independent redistricting body. The stated reason is to nullify Texas' own partisan redistricting. I believe that there is a clause to that effect. Sort of like if you do this, we'll reciprocate.

  • Maybe they fear coming out against child killing will make them antisemitic.

  • She Despised Charlie Kirk. He Resolved to Make People Like Her Pay.

    Jump

  • Maybe. But if that's all she wanted to do, she could just concentrate on that. It sounds like she went above board to fit in.

  • FBI to Categorize Trans People As "Nihilistic Violent Extremist" Threat Group, Report Says

    Jump

  • To these people any society with trans people in it is a destroyed society since their society is trans exclusionary.

  • Call your rep today

    Jump

  • Yeah, but it turns out that ignorant, bigoted people are easier to control. So whatcha gunna do.l?

  • Newsom is trolling Trump with his own tweets

    Jump

  • It depends on how much contempt they have for electorate. And their propensity to learn anything.

  • Despite all his bloviating about militarizing Washington DC being anti crime. He repeatedly shows himself up to be quite the opposite. Rhetoric is cheap actions are where the rubber meets road.
